Transmission Load Account

The size of our cold storage is 6m long, 5m wide and 4m high.

Ambient air (the location where the depot is located) is 30 °c with 50% RH, Inner air (the air condition required to be in the tan
Walls, roofs and floors, U 0.28 w/m2. The value of K is insulated with 80 mm polyurethane.
The floor temperature is 10 °c.

To calculate the transmission load, we will use a formula like this:

Q = U x A x (external temperature – internal temperature) x 24 ÷ 1000
Q = kWh/G heat load
u = U Insulation value (we already know this value) (W/m2. K
A = wall, roof and ground surface area (we will calculate this) (M2)
Internal temperature = air temperature inside the room (° C)
External temperature = ambient air temperature (° C)
24 = number of hours in a day
1000 = conversion from Watt to KW.

"A" is very easy to calculate:

1. Wall = 6m x 4m = 24m2
2. Wall = 6m x 4m = 24m2
3. Wall = 5m x 4m = 20m2
4. Wall = 5m x 4m = 20m2
Roof = 5m x 6m = 30m2
Floor = 5m x 6m = 30m2
You must calculate the floor separately from the wall and ceiling, because the temperature difference is different under the flo
Walls and roof
Q = U x A x (external temperature – internal temperature) x 24 ÷ 1000
Q = 0.28 w/m2. K x 148m2 x (30 °c-1 °c) x 24 ÷ 1000
Q = 28.8 kWh/day
[148m2 = 24m2 + 24m2 + 20m2 + 20m2 + 30m2 + 30m2]
Floor
Q = U x A x (external temperature – internal temperature) x 24 ÷ 1000
Q = 0.28 w/m2. K x 30m2 x (10 °c-1 °c) x 24 ÷ 1000
Q = 1.8 KWh/day
Total daily transmission temperature gain = 28.8 kwh/day + 1.8 kwh/day = 30.6 kwh/day

Product Installation-cooling load account from product change

In the next step, we will calculate the cooling load according to the temperature coming from the new product replacement in
We're going to store the apples for this sample. If you are going to perform operations such as freezing, advanced cooling, as w
The new Apple of 4,000 kg, with a temperature of 5 °c and 3.65 KJ/kg, comes to the warehouse every day.
We can use the following formula for this account:
Q = m x Cp x (product inlet temperature – in-tank temperature)/3600
Q = kWh/day
CP = specific heat capacity of the product (KJ/kg. °c)
m = mass of newly added products (kg)
Product input temperature = input temperature of the products (°c)
In-tank temperature = temperature inside the tank (°c)
3600 = Convert from KJ to KWh
Calculation
Q = m x Cp x (product inlet temperature – in-tank temperature)/3600
Q = 4,000 kg x 3.65 KJ/kg °c x (5 °c-1 °c)/3600
Q = 16kwh/day

Cooling load account from product inhaler

The next step is the cooling load account from the product respiration. In this example, we use the product's respiratory temp
To calculate this, we will use the following formula:
Q = m x RESP/3600
Q = kWh/day
m = Product quantity in storage (kg)
RESP = respiratory temperature of the product (1.9 kj/kg)
3600 = converts KJ to kWh.
Q = m x RESP/3600
Q = 20,000 kg x 1.9 kj/kg/3600
Q = 10.5 kWh/day
So when we calculate the cooling load from the new product entering the warehouse and the cooling burden of the product d

Internal heat load – the cooling load account from people

The next step is to calculate the heat loads from the people working in the warehouse. Assuming there are 2 people working 4
We will use the following formula:
Q = number of employees x time x Heat/1000
Q = kWh/day
Number of employees = number of people working in the repository
Time = per capita, length of time spent in the repository (hours)
Heat = heat loss per hour (watts)
1000 = only converts watt to KW
Calculation:
Q = number of employees x time x Heat/1000
Q = 2 x 4 hours x 270 Watts/1000
Q = 2.16 KWh/day

Internal heat load – cooling load account from illumination

In the next step, we will calculate the heat generated by lighting. This is quite simple and we can use the following formula.
Q = lamp x Time x Watt/1000
Q = kWh/day,
Lights = number of lamps in the cold room
hour = Day of Use
Watts = Power rating of lamps
1000 = converts Watt to KW.
If each of them has 3 lamps at 100w, if it works 4 hours a day, the calculation is as follows:
Q = lamp x Time x Watt/1000
Q = 3 x 4 hours x 100w/1000
Q = 1.2 kwh/day
Total internal load: Heat load from people (2.16 kwh/day) and Lighting heat load (1.2 kwh/day) We get a total of 3.36 kwh/day

Equipment load-cooling load account from Fan Motors

Now, let's calculate the heat gain from the evaporators ' fan motors.
Q = fans x time x Watt/1000
Q = kWh/day
Fans = Fan number
Time = daily working time of the fan (hours)
Watt = nominal power of Fan Motors (Watts)
1000 = convert from Watt to KW.
In this cold room evaporator, each one uses a 200w value of 3 fans and we assume they will work 14 hours a day.
Calculation:
Q = fans x time x Watt/1000
Q = 3 x 14 hours x 200 W/1000
Q = 8.4 kwh/day

Equipment load-cooling load account from Fan motors defrost

We will now calculate the heat load resulting from the evaporator's ice thaw. To calculate this, we use the following formula:
Q = power x time x defrost cycle x efficiency
Q = kWh/day,
Power = Power rating of the heating element (KW)
Time = Defrost working time (hours)
Defrost cycle = The number of times the defrost cycle occurs in a day
efficiency = Percentage of heat transferred to the environment
In this example, in our cold room, an electric heating element with a value of 1.2 kw is used. It works 3 times a day, 30 minute
Q = 1.2 kw x 0.5 hours x 3 x 0.3
Q = 0.54 kwh/day
The total equipment cooling load is equivalent to the fan heat load (8.4 kwh/day) plus defrost heat load (0.54 kwh/day), 8.94 k
Cooling load Account from infiltration
Now we need to calculate the heat load from the air infiltration (leakage). If we use a simplified formula:
Q = volume x Energy x change x (external temperature – internal temperature)/3600
Q = kWh/D
Change = number of volume changes in the day
Volume = cold Storage Volume
Energy = Centigrade degree of energy per cubic meter
External temperature = ambient air temperature
Internal temperature = Cold room temperature
3600 = only converts from KJ to KWh.
Assuming that the door will create 5 volume air changes per day due to product entry to the warehouse, the volume is calcula
Q = change x Volume x Energy x (external temperature – internal temperature)/3600
Q = 5 x 120m3 x 2kj/°c x (30 °c-1 °c)/3600
Q = 9.67 kWh/day

Total cooling Load

To calculate the total cooling load, we will only collect all the calculated values.
Transmission load: 28.8 kwh/day 28.8 kWh/day
Product Download: 26.5 kWh/day 26.5 kWh/day
Internal load: 3.36 kwh/day 3.36 kWh/day
Equipment Load: 8.94 kWh/day 8.94 kWh/day
Infiltration load: 9.67 kWh/day 9.67 kWh/day
Total = 77.27 kWh/day 77.27 kWh/day

The last thing we need to do is calculate the cooling capacity that is necessary to remove this heat gain from the environment
